SENATE: Votes to Fund DHS, Fate Now Lies in the House’s Hands

What happened? I thought the Democrats weren’t going to pass it? Guess you can’t keep a politician to their word.

The United States Senate has passed a bill to fund the Department of Homeland Security in the face of a midnight deadline, leaving the fate of the DHS for now in the hands of the House of Representatives.

Friday morning, the Senate voted 68-31 in support of the spending bill, giving the chamber’s go-ahead to keep the Homeland Security Department fully funded.
